Lyric Why Can t I Forget - Maureen McGovern

Lyric Song Why Can t I Forget: I have the world s worst memory
Many times a dayI say
Where did I leave my key
Where have I put my purse
Where else should I be
It s perverse
A life of hide and seek
I never know the date and worse
The day of the week

Sowhy can t I forget
The day I met him
He held the door and let me go ahead
Rushing to our separate lives
We took a walk instead
Why can t I forget him
And every word he said

I m always sending Christmas cards
They re more interesting in spring
Only my banker knows
The checks I forgot to sign
Where did I get these clothes
They re not mine!
I made myself a list
Of things I really have to find
But where is that list

Sowhy can t I forget
Those summer evenings
He d wait for me outside our small cafe
We were both like kids again
We had so much to say
Why can t I forget him
It s funny in a way

Funny just remembering
The way we laughed at ev rything
I found the one that I d been waiting for
I could hardly recognize
The woman I was in his eyes
A woman I had never known before

Why can t I forget
The way he touched me
I see his facedesire in his eyes
The smile he gave to no one else
His silences and sighs
Why can t I forget
The way he loved me
The way I loved him
And the way he said goodbye
